The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) has said publicly about the situation in Iran, saying that other countries should not interfere in Iran’s internal matters. The SCO is a group of countries that work together on politics, security, and economics. It is headed by China and Russia.
In a statement on Friday, the group said it was very worried about the recent violence in Iran that has caused many deaths and injuries. The SCO also offered support to the Iranian people and government.
The SCO said it opposes interference by outside countries in Iran’s internal affairs. It called for a peaceful solution to the problems in Iran through talks and diplomacy, not force.
The group stressed that respecting a nation’s independence, borders, and freedom to make its own decisions is very important. It also said using force or threats of force in world relations should be avoided, and problems should be resolved through discussions.

The SCO warned at a time when many countries are interfering in Iran’s national matters. In recent weeks, protests have spread across many areas of the country. The protest movement began with people demonstrating about economic issues but later included demands for bigger changes. United Nations diplomats and world leaders have talked about the situation at high-level meetings.
Some countries, including the United States and European nations, have criticized Iran’s handling of protesters and raised concerns about human rights. These nations have also discussed possible sanctions and other actions. Many organizations, like the SCO, are asking respect for national sovereignty and non-interference.
The SCO’s statement reflects a long-held principle that countries should not interfere in the internal matters of others. This idea is part of the group’s focus on peace, stability, and cooperation among its member states. The organization includes several countries across Europe and Asia and its leaders have repeatedly pointed out respect for national independence and use of peaceful diplomacy.
Iran says some other countries are trying to interfere in its national affairs. It says it has the right to keep its country safe and independent. Iranian leaders also said they will protect their nation from outside pressure.
The SCO is asking for a peaceful solution based on politics. This adds another voice from around the world trying to help the crisis in Iran. Some countries are using pressure or sanctions, while others want talks and respect for Iran’s control over its own affairs
In its statement, the SCO also highlighted the importance of territorial integrity and mutual respect between nations. The group said that force and threats are not acceptable in global affairs, and that countries should work together toward calm and diplomatic solutions.
This development shows how the situation in Iran has drawn attention from major international groups and how global powers differ in their views on how best to respond to violence and protests inside a nation’s borders.
